And just like that, we’re back for a new Survivor season! And…it starts off cold. As soon as the 18 new castaways hit the beach, Jeff starts talking about Survivor. But talking about it in the sense of explaining how the game works, broad strokes type things. Sure, we have a two hour premiere, but […]

ANT-MAN AND THE WASP: QUANTUMANIA Review
The MCU has been *ahem* a marvel to witness (I’m sorry). Watching it grow from Iron Man into the incredible culmination a decade later with Avengers: Endgame was truly something special. One of the bigger, nagging issues, though, was the constant tie-ins to future projects, teasing new heroes and villains, hints of storylines to come […]
AT MIDNIGHT Review
The For Dummies book series has provided easy to follow steps for anyone to learn about any number of topics for three decades. Some might deride the books – and those who use them – due to the chosen. But I’m sure they’ve proven immensely helpful for countless people. At Midnight feels like someone had […]
YOUR PLACE OR MINE Review
It’s a story we’ve seen a thousand times. Longtime friends who are seemingly perfect for each other can never make it work as more than friends. For one reason or another, they always just miss each other. It’s the basis for countless romantic comedies. And like the rom-com genre in general, it’s a tried and […]
2022 Movie Rankings, Top 10
And here we are, the top 10! Appreciate anyone who stuck around for the full countdown (but if you just waited for this one, can’t really blame you there). There’s a wide variety of types of movies here, and I love that so much. Let’s jump in! Previous Rankings#171-183#151-170#131-150#111-130#91-110#71-90#51-70#31-50#11-30 EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE lives […]
2022 Movie Rankings, #11-30
Previous Rankings#171-183#151-170#131-150#111-130#91-110#71-90#51-70#31-50 Nicolas Cage and Pedro Pascal are perfect together in THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT (review), one of the year’s funniest movies. An ending you can see coming a mile away doesn’t detract at all from how much fun the rest of the movie is. Oh my goodness I loved BARBARIAN (review) so […]
2022 Movie Rankings, #31-50
Previous Rankings#171-183#151-170#131-150#111-130#91-110#71-90#51-70 SEE HOW THEY RUN (review) is a fun murder mystery, effectively trading in on the self-aware trend going around. Sam Rockwell and Saoirse Ronan are terrific in the leads (like you’d expect anything else). We all knew Jenny Slate and Charlie Day were comedic forces, but I WANT YOU BACK gives them a […]
2022 Movie Rankings, #51-70
Previous Rankings#171-183#151-170#131-150#111-130#91-110#71-90 Jon Hamm has seemingly struggled to find his footing post-Mad Men. But I think comedy is what he should focus on. He’s terrific in CONFESS, FLETCH, and I would love to see him make a couple more of these. Millie Bobby Brown is once again awesome in ENOLA HOLMES 2, another super fun […]
2022 Movie Rankings, #71-90
Previous Rankings#171-183#151-170#131-150#111-130#91-110 SPIRITED doesn’t add much to one of the most famous Christmas stories of all time, but it’s made with so much energy and charm that you won’t care. Gorgeous animation does a lot of the lifting in MY FATHER’S DRAGON. VENGEANCE has some impressive wit and sharp commentary, but could have been more […]
2022 Movie Rankings, #91-110
Previous Rankings#171-183#151-170#131-150#111-130 UNCHARTED (review) often feels just like any other treasure hunting adventure type movie, but that genre is exactly my bag, so I’m in. Samara Weaving and Eugenio Derbez have solid chemistry in THE VALET (review) a standard-issue rom-com. DAY SHIFT is a quintessential Netflix movie. Big name name cast, a few moments where […]
